My bunny boy Wesley turned 9 this year! His hobbies include chewing up paper (the more important the documents the tastier), following you around the house and sleeping on your bed.
He’s a Netherland dwarf if you’re wondering.
Excellent hobbies for anyone, especially a bun bun.
i.e. why when you or someone else gets stabbed or impaled, you should leave the object in the wound until medical help arrives.
THIS. RIGHT HERE. This is an amazing example!!
If you take the thing out, they’re going to bleed a lot more.
SO. DONT.
News Flash from the Medical Help ™ — we don’t touch it either! Unless the object they’re impaled with is literally too big to fit in the ambulance, We. Don’t. Touch. The. Thing.
The only people qualified to Take-The-Thing-Out are surgeons. End of story.
Okay, but for the love of God, please, PLEASE, if you did, if you panicked and took the thing out…. DON’T…. PUT IT BACK IN.
Or else, congratulations, you just stabbed them AGAIN. I reeeeeally shouldn’t have to say this guys, but I do.
Could I PLEASE stop seeing period dramas where women aren’t wearing chemises under their corsets
Also to add- corsets were not because of “patriarchical oppression”. In most cases it was how you held up and supported your boobs with the benefit of shaping your figure at the same time. Just like a bra today. I hate it when some actresses refuse to wear corsets for a role that ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE WORN ONE because they’re trying to express their feminism. Like, I get it, it’s 100% okay to express your feminism but for goodness sakes do some historical research about what it actually was before making assumptions
Also, also, please no more “I can’t get into my corset without help” because that’s nonsense. I’m sure there were a lot of rich ladies who were laced in every day but a lot of other women managed to put on corsets themselves just fine. There was a study done in the 1887 about how women laced their corsets and the majority of them didn’t lace it so tightly they couldn’t breathe. In fact most women laced it to a comfortable place, with a 3 to 4 inch gap at the back.
There are so many myths about corsets and I’m passionate about accurate depictions of historical clothing
Tightlacing a corset and just wearing one to support your boobs are two different things!!!!
I made these gifs from a couple of short films made by Eadweard Muybridge circa 1872-1885 (link goes to my original post, which includes links to the videos themselves which are better of course than the gifs) because they clearly show how women put on a corset, as well as how much space (2-4″) was left in the back. It’s also obvious that it’s not excessively tight, nor does it overly constrict her waist or torso. They also show the correct underpinnings for the time period.
My mom’s worn corsets for ren fair costumes a couple of times, and I’ve tried hers on. I don’t think I’d want to work out in one, but you can breathe in one. You just can’t take a really deep breath. They’re not that uncomfortable, either, I’ve worn bras that are worse. Heck, if I had big boobs, it’d probably be an improvement on nudity to have that much support.
Yes, but smuggling bears into Antarctica would be very difficult. Antarctica isn’t just so-named because there aren’t any bears there – it actively repels them, kinda like a magnet. If you attempt to approach Antarctica with bears in tow, you will be pushed away by the anti-bear force. You’ll have to work with a large and well-coordinated team to approach Antarctica from all sides and with enough raw bear power to overcome the repulsion, otherwise the continent might slide away.
Plus, how would you even transport that many bears without the sheer bear force tearing you apart?
It’d probably be easier to go to the Arctic and catapult all the bears away from it. There’s bear force there, too, but not as strong because it isn’t anchored to an actual continent.
“If poor people knew how rich rich people are, there would be riots in the streets.”
This article is a bunch of numbers and data and it doesn’t really paint a very vivid picture of the problem.
So here’s an example that I assure you is 100% real.
My dad works on boats. Not in any capacity that makes a lot of money (he basically inspects their fire systems), but he gets to set foot on the luxury yachts of the most mindblowingly wealthy people on earth. People who have so much money they have to invent new and absurd ways to even spend it. People who barely work for a living because they have so much goddamn money they spend most of their lives in perpetual vacation having other people manage anything of importance while their “bootstraps” are nowhere to be found.
And I don’t mean 30-60 foot fishing boats, I mean the REAL luxury yachts, for which 150 feet counts as a smaller size. It’s fairly common for them to be around 180ish feet, more rarely as much as 200. Boats personally owned by individual people that have helicopter landing pads (plural) and more. These are floating super mansions that these people own for fun.
Most of them are huge, incompetent assholes who wouldn’t last a day in the rest of the world without people sucking up to them because of their money.
But this is about what one guy, one STUPIDLY RICH jackass, has come up with as a way to spend a tiny fraction of his money.
Persian rugs are like, the stereotype of a priceless artifact that is impossible to replace. Anywhere you see one on display there is enormous care taken not to damage them or to allow people to touch them. Some of them are well over a thousand years old, and while it’s possible for modern textiles to produce similar designs, the real ones are fragile, in limited supply, impossible to replace, and very expensive.
Every couple of years this guy buys one, has it cut into the correct shape, and gets it installed as carpeting – to be walked on – in one room on his yacht. After it wears out it gets stripped off the floor and thrown away, and he buys a new one.
Priceless, irreplaceable artifacts that cost millions of dollars each are disposable, temporary carpeting for these people. And this is not the richest person my dad has ever worked for. Nor is his the biggest or most expensive boat.
One of them has a yacht with a huge, multimillion-dollar setup on the back for his personal luxury submarine.
The ultra-wealthy are too goddamn rich. WAY beyond even what people who think they know what rich looks like would ever imagine.
